Types of forest dynamics (2000 - 2018)

Landscape Dynamic Typology method (Machado et al., 2018) applied to forests in the European Union (except for Malta) for the period 2000 - 2018. Data sources: CORINE Land Cover (European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service Information, 2000, 2018) and GISCO NUTS (EUROSTAT, 2024). Analytical units: NUTS2 for Austria, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands; NUTS 3 for the other Member States. (Different NUTS levels were used as a way to reduce variability in the size of the analytical units.) References: European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service Information. (2000).
